Chapter 947

After hearing this, Chloe Collins sent a quick reply to Evelyn Thompson, stating that she would get back to her later.

"Well, I’m free anyway, I’ll go with you."

Wanda Wesley sneakily glanced over at her, swallowing uneasily.

This little drama didn’t escape Chloe’s observation.

"Do you want to say something to me?" Chloe asked.

With some hesitation, Wanda said, "Has Robert Foster mentioned anything to you about Hidden Nooks?"

Chloe asked, "What’s going on with him?"

Wanda quickly withdrew her gaze, her lips tightly pressed together and her eyes downcast, she prodded at the grains of rice in front of her.

"Well, I think I won’t say anything, let him talk to you personally."

Alexander Foster invested in her company in order to open a Hidden Nooks branch right outside his own company.

This matter has always been a secret.

The opening of this branch was also with the hopes that Chloe could frequently dine there.

Currently, with his support, the opening of their third branch has been scheduled.

Observing Wanda’s indecisive expression, Chloe thought deeply, her fingertips lightly tapping on the table surface.

Every time she did this small action, it indicated that the matter she was pondering over was close to a conclusion.

Not long after, a small barely visible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth as she picked up her chopsticks and continued eating.

They had previously applied for days off on weekends, but after they got back, Simon Griffin had penalized them by having them copy the team rules ten thousand times.

This time, as soon as they made the request, Simon immediately wrote approval.

His gaze was fixed intently on Chloe as he said, "Be careful."

Wanda was surprised, wondering why the teacher was suddenly being so nice to Chloe.

Just as she was thinking about this, she noticed an ironing board behind Simon with a crumpled piece of paper underneath it.

With Simon’s permission, Chloe and Wanda headed to Hidden Nooks immediately after their class ended at five in the afternoon.

By the time they arrived, it was already around six o’clock. The sky was dim, and the decorative lights of Hidden Nooks Headquarters were lit up one by one.

However, the restaurant was not as bustling as usual, and there was an eerie quietness.

As soon as they entered, a thin, tall man hurriedly approached Wanda and reported, "Boss, these people have been causing disturbances since the afternoon. The police station wasn’t able to solve anything, and as soon as the police left, they continue to monopolize this place, demanding not just for medical expenses but for an additional sum of money."

In the afternoon, Wanda had already sent someone to mediate the situation as per their usual protocols. However, those people were not satisfied with just the medical expenses and demanded more.

After the manager finished explaining, he gave a polite nod to Chloe, then stood aside to lead the way.

Walking into the dining hall, they saw that the usual crowded dining area was empty, except for a couple of tables.

Approximately ten to twenty men and women were seated at a few adjacent tables with several computers placed in front of them.

Several people sat controlling the computers, while others stood behind them, watching the screens with an anxious expression, suddenly cheering in unison.

This atmosphere gave the impression of a cybercafe.

"This group of people have been playing games here all day, scaring away all the incoming customers. We had to cancel the remaining deliveries for the day."

As they approached, the attention of the crowd was drawn to them.

The manager stepped forward and said, "This is our boss of Hidden Nooks, you wanted to talk, didn’t you? Go ahead."

The long-faced man sitting in the main seat smirked, exchanged a glance with the blue-haired woman next to him and dismissively laughed, "This little girl is your boss? Fine! As the boss, since your people injured my brother, you should compensate."
